Chris and I went on an excellent guided fishing adventure today with Captain Barry Buckland of Sandy River Guide Service. We didn’t catch what we were hoping for (Chinook Salmon or Steelhead) - Chris caught a carp and threw it back. But we learned so much and had such a wonderful time! Captain Barry was extremely knowledgeable and taught us which type of poles, reels, line, and bait to use, how to cast, where the fishing holes in the river are, and lots more. We plan to do it again soon!... Mehr

Captain Barry was awesome! His knowledge, patience and attentiveness was refreshing. And the 10 lb. steelhead was not too shabby either, a real beauty! If you have been fishing for years or a beginner, you will learn something new from Barry. Worth every penny. Give it a try! You won’t regret it!! Thanks Cappie for a wonderful day on Sandy River. We appreciate you! Best Anniversary gift ever! Hope our paths meet again! Take care! (:

Captain Barry obviously knew this stretch of River well and was patient and instuctive with my 8 year old son. Unfortunately, we are not familiar with this River and booked between runs, so I believe it would’ve been a fluke if we’d caught a fish or two. If we’d been able to contact Barry directly before booking we definitely would not have Boole at this time. It was a nice but expensive float down the river.

Barry was wonderful and very knowledgeable. had a wonderful time and looking forward to going out another time.

Barry did everything he could to put us on the fish! He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. If there were fish in the river, I have zero doubt we would have gotten our limit. They just weren’t there that day! But Barry is the best. We’ll definitely book with him again.
